I am an Associate Attorney with Novins, York and Jacobus with a primary focus on Family and Matrimonial Law matters. I was primarily raised in the Toms River, NJ area, and was a 1997 graduate of TRHS SouthAfter High School, I attended and graduated from James Madison University in December of 2000. After graduation from James Madison, I attended Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, Florida. During Law School, I focused on Family Law courses for my electives and clerked for a Family Law attorney during my last year of Law school. After graduation, I sat for the Florida and New Jersey Bars and was admitted to practice in both jurisdictions in Fall of 2004. I practiced Family Law in Bradenton, Florida from 2004-2007 until joining Novins, York and Jacobus in February of 2007.
